I have a crontab entry to invoke uucp communication every hour at the half
hour from midnight to 7 in the morning. However, it seems to behave very
erratically. Sometimes it is just not executed. Did anybody come across
this problem with the crontab entries? My system is a SUN 330 running
SUNOS 4.0.3

my crontab entry :

 30 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 * * * /etc/uucp/uucp.hour >/dev/null

I can tell it's not executed by looking at the LOGFILE. comments much
appreciated...
